Breaking News: I Am Coming Back to Revive the Team and See Us Win Again Says Veljko Paunović as He Returns to Reading FC As A NEW…
In a stunning development that has sent waves through the Championship and delighted Royals fans across the globe, Veljko Paunović has officially returned to Reading FC as head coach. The Serbian tactician, who previously managed the club from 2020 to 2022, has vowed to “revive the team and see us win again” as he begins a new chapter at the helm.
The announcement came early Monday morning in a club statement confirming Paunović’s reappointment. “We are thrilled to welcome Veljko back to Reading,” the statement read. “His deep understanding of the club, passion for developing talent, and commitment to attacking football make him the right man to lead us forward.”
Paunović, 47, led Reading during one of their most promising spells in recent years, guiding them to a strong start in the 2020–21 Championship season before challenges off the pitch, including financial constraints and injuries, impacted the team’s form. Despite the setbacks, Paunović left the club with the respect of fans, players, and staff for his professionalism and clear vision.
At his unveiling press conference, the returning coach wasted no time in setting the tone for his second spell.
“I am coming back to revive the team and see us win again,” Paunović declared. “Reading is a club with heart, ambition, and tradition. My time here before was filled with both great moments and tough lessons, and I’ve grown as a coach and as a leader since then. I’m ready to give everything to bring pride back to this team and its supporters.”
The decision to bring Paunović back comes after a disappointing run of results under interim leadership, with the club languishing in the lower half of the table. The board’s move signals a desire to return to stability and long-term planning, with Paunović expected to focus on youth development, tactical identity, and restoring belief in the squad.
Players have already reacted positively to the news. Club captain Andy Yiadom posted on social media: “Let’s go! Great to have the gaffer back. Time to get to work.”
Fans, too, have shown excitement, with supporters flooding social media with welcome messages and renewed optimism. “We needed someone who understands Reading and believes in the project. Pauno is that guy,” one fan tweeted.
Paunović will take charge immediately, with his first match back set to be a high-stakes clash this weekend. Training resumes today, and early reports suggest the coach is already working on tactical tweaks and fitness improvements.
With Reading FC at a crossroads, Veljko Paunović’s return offers a glimmer of hope—and possibly a new dawn. Supporters will be watching closely as their former boss takes charge once again, this time with unfinished business and a renewed mission to bring glory back to the Madejski.
